[Rakesh]

You are right, it is called as Tilak. Tilak is originally a paste of Chandan wood, it is pasted on the ‘Third eye’, place above the eyes and centre of the forehead. In old days ( 200 years ago) it was wore by both men and women. But due to different religions migrated to India , mostly men gave-up the religious identity to get along with other folks and women continued to carry the tradition being stayed only in house. Now even many Indian women does not wear it in everyday life, but during the rituals everyone does it.
